“Corrupt” by Penelope Douglas is a dark, suspenseful college romance that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It’s the first book in the Devil’s Night series, but can be enjoyed as a standalone.
The story alternates between the perspectives of Erika “Rika” Fane and Michael Crist. Rika is dating Michael’s younger brother, but has always been unnerved by Michael’s intensity. When Rika’s boyfriend leaves for the military, she finds herself alone at college – and in Michael’s crosshairs.
Years ago, Rika put some of Michael’s friends in prison. Now they’re out, and Michael is determined to make her pay. What follows is a twisted game of cat and mouse as Rika fights to survive Michael’s revenge.
Douglas’s writing is atmospheric and addictive, pulling you into the characters’ dark psyches. The chemistry between Rika and Michael is electric, even as their dynamic remains tense and disturbing.
This book is not for the faint of heart. It deals with heavy themes like bullying, assault, and trauma. But Douglas handles these topics with sensitivity, never veering into gratuitousness.
